Nothing anywhere near as impressive as some of the machines in here but it gets the job done for me. It's a John Deere 318. I installed a transmission out of a 420 to gain the differential lock and 2 speed gear box. The tractor is fully hydraulic and works pretty damn good. Just need to add a...

So I got the rest of the tar paper up this afternoon and then spent the rest of my time cleaning up a bit. The area was getting pretty messy and was starting to drive me a bit crazy. One thing I can't stand when im working is constantly tripping over everything and not being able to find what...

Well it has been a very productive weekend. All the siding is up, roof sheathing is fully screwed on, sofit vents installed, drip edge is on and half the roof is tar papered. Ran out of daylight to get the other side papered and didn't feel like doing it with the halogen work lights. I'll post...

There are two reasons why I decided to go with the size I did. First my township does not require a permit for anything less than 200 Sq ft so I wanted to build as large as I could without having to deal with inspections slowing me down. Second is my dad has almost the same shed that I am...

Well I got the siding up on the two side walls. Going with the LP SmartPanel from Home Depot. I will have trim on all of the edges so the little gaps won't affect anything.

The overhang is 12". From the bottom of the overhang to the slab it is about 7' tall.

Well the shed now has a roof. I ended up using 1/2" OSB with H clips and everything feels rock solid. I'm happy I didn't try to use 7/16". This afternoon I'm picking up some scaffolding to make paneling the gable ends easier. Hoping to have all of the paneling up by the end of tomorrow. Then...

Not sure if the picture worked in my last post so I'm trying again. It's not showing up on my phone.

Figured I would post a picture showing where I am at. The overhangs are finished and small is really have left to do before I can start putting the sheeting on is frame the gable ends so there is something to nail the siding to. That should be finished tonight. One question I do have is what...

Trusses are 12ft wide. Thanks! It's been a pretty rewarding project so far and I have definitely learned a lot.

Well it was a very productive weekend for me. Friday night I finished assembling the remaining 5 trusses. Saturday I didn't get a chance to work in the shed but I more than made up for it on Sunday. First thing I did Sunday was was to put down the OSB I'm using for a floor in the loft. After...

So yesterday after work I went out to the garage and planned on assembling all of the trusses. If I've learned anything so far it is how badly I underestimate just how long it takes to do some things. After I got a system going I was able to build a complete truss in about 25 minutes. First I...

Not a problem at all! I took those measurements off of my Banshee and YFZ450. Might vary a bit for you but should be in the ballpark for sure. The Jig has been working pretty good. The OSB comes with the lines already painted on. I used them to verify the sheets were correctly located so I could...

Last night I pulled the car out of the garage and got a jig setup to help with building the trusses on the floor of the garage. After I was satisfied with how the boards were fitting together I cut the rest of the 2x6's down to match. The plan for this evening is to start assembling the...

That's hard for me to say since I did not gather any quotes. Looking at the breakdown Vegaman_Dan gave it looks like I am saving around $1,500 - $2,000k or so building it myself. I am only planning on (2) quads into my shed. Not sure what type of quads you have but mine measure about 45" wide...
